Palin: Hockey Mom or Super Fraud?

So I awoke this morning to hear that John McCain had picked a vice presidential candidate. I was disappointed that Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty fell short of ahis goal of screwing the city of Mankato on a more federal level, but I was excited to hear that the world's least exciting man had at least spiced up his ticket with that guy from Monty Python. Then I found out he actually picked Alaska governor Sarah Palin instead of Michael Palin. It was awkward, though not as bad as the response from the Obama campaign, which was: "No fair! We didn't know we could pick people from outside the United States!"

Anyway, the choice of Palin set theinternetsabuzz about the lady that is a "self-described hockey mom". I'm not buying it though. Her kids are named Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. A real hockey parent would have given her kids real hockey names like Stone, or Brick, . And shouldn't a hockey mom be taking her poorly-named to see the local college team play? I'm pretty sure all 7 members of their family weren't at UAA games last year since UAA's average attendance was 4 people and a moose.

Plus, let's not ignore the other hockey skeletons in her closet. For example, last year she actually gave a trophy to one of the worst teams in college hockey. Whatever happened to striving for excellence? I'm fairly certain had Barack Obama presided over those games, he would have done something cool like karate kick both goalies and keep the Cup for himself until both teams started winning some conference games.

Barak would have given a trophy to all of the players and everyone in the arena and proceeded to tell them all that the trophies were paid for by taxes on the evil corporations. The money for the trophies came from the evil corporations, not from your pocketbooks.....

Wow, I guess you are a little bitter. Not that cool to debunk the meteoric rise of a genuine hockey mom that used be the manager of her son's hockey team. "One of the worst teams in college hockey" really? There are plenty of teams (non WCHA) out there that would fare far worse with the strength of schedule that UAA faces.

The Mesiah is upset because they got out foxed by McCain. They pushed a woman aside in Clinton to bring in Bidon so the Conservatives turn around and land a woman that no one thought would happen. The names are a little too Liberal sounding to me. Maybe Junior or Buzz-saw, Brutus, Blackey would sound better.

US politics are if nothing else entertaining. In case no one knows we are about to have an election in Canada probably in October. The problem is not even the media are paying attention, there too busy attending US stuff watching the O"Bama, Bidon, Palin, Vet guy circus act.

What does Sarah Palin, or vice presidential candidates have to do with Western College Hockey?

Sure, a break from the topic once in a while is good. However, a break from the topic to whine about Mankato not getting a hand-out from the government,....slam UUA, and their attendance,...fuss about somebody's choice of kid names? Was this "break from the topic" entertaining?

"Sarah-Baracuda", "Sarah-dipity".... cute nick names, but I've never seen a real "hockey mom" who had time to run a city much less a state. Just cuz your kids play hockey doesn't make you a "hockey mom." I will say she would be the hottest VP this country's ever seen, though. MILF for President!

If Trigg is actually her grand son, where does that leave Palin and her statements of honesty and crap? She was the very same Washington pork pro-bridge and lobbying before she turned "born-again" ala-Bush.

Cut the crap, let go of her, get Mitt Romney at least. This compaign will lose. McCain is a loser, has shown that he is no more a person to believe in than Bush or Cheney.
